Scouting for Girls is an English pop rock band formed in London in 2005 by childhood friends Roy Stride, Greg Churchouse, and James Rowlands. Known for their catchy hooks and energetic sound, the group's name is a playful twist on the classic Scouting for Boys handbook. They rose to fame with their chart-topping self-titled debut album, which reached number one in the UK and sold over a million copies. Over the years, the band has released seven studio albums, including notable records like Everybody Wants to Be on TV and The Place We Used to Meet. Scouting for Girls have earned eight UK top 40 singles, sold more than four million records, and surpassed one billion global streams. Their success has brought them multiple Brit Award nominations and a nomination for an Ivor Novello Award.
